Sway bar and ride height settings for road course use

rickybobby · 01-08-2020, 01:37 PM

For the ZLE track guys and girls, I wanted to start a discussion on the adjustments that we have at our disposal for fine tuning.

Has anyone played with the rear sway bar and front ride heights to change the attitude of the car? I know it is subjective and personal preference. The car is very good with the suggested settings, but I’ve softened the rear sway bar to help with exit traction. I can certainly feel the difference but am on the fence if I like it better or not.

Anyone else care to share their experience?

Yeah, I lowered the front and put the rear bar on soft. Haven’t thought about touching it since, handles perfectly.

i have adjustable swaybars on my 1ss and i understand how to adjust them but always hard to figure out what adjusting them will do to the car

Stock front height and full soft on the rear sway to try and help with oversteer on the autocross course.

This is some good information in this link, what I look for is the most security in the car while turning, i learned long ago there is no magical setup, each driver wants something different out of their cars so, it's really about driver preference in where your trying to fix your corners. Enjoy.
